1 2Firestone Destination Farm Radial Implement Tires

Firestone Destination Farm radial implement tires with Advanced Deflection Design (AD2) technology are designed to deliver a new level of performance in the operation and transportation of heavy farm equipment.

Available in IF or VF designations, these tires are engineered to carry more load at lower inflation pressures than conventional bias- or radial-ply implement tires. They also feature a soil-friendly tread design and a wider section width for greater contact area.*

A wider section width may significantly reduce soil compaction.

Firestone Destination Farm radial implement tires with AD2 technology are specifically designed for the high-load demands of today’s agricultural equipment – tires that run on lower pressure, on a wider track and distribute the weight over a larger surface area to help reduce soil compaction.

DESTINATION FARM RADIAL IMPLEMENT TIRES WITH AD2TM TECHNOLOGY: DESIGNED, ENGINEERED AND BUILT FOR TODAY’S AGRICULTURE.

*Compared to standard equivalent-sized Firestone bias and radial tires.


Considering the increasing size and weight of today’s field implements – especially when loaded with the additional weight of herbicides, fertilizer and/or seed – soil compaction can actually be a bigger problem than the compaction from the tractor that pulls this equipment.

Producers who understand the costs of compaction from tractor tires are learning that implement tires cause yield-robbing compaction problems, too.

Until now, the default tire for most heavy farm equipment has been to use those built for trucks or buses. Firestone Destination Farm radial implement tires are specifically designed for the needs and demands of agriculture.

SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR HEAVY FARM EQUIPMENT.

TEKSCAN FOOTPRINT COMPARISONS

Both IF and VF Destination Farm tires can carry more load at a lower pressure than standard equivalent-sized bias and radial tires. Lower pressure gives these tires a larger footprint and helps reduce soil compaction.

Firestone Destination Farm radial implement tires with AD2 technology offer superior performance compared to our standard radial tires. AD2 is a new class of farm tires that helps improve the productivity of today’s implements.

• IF-designated tires offer up to 20% more load-carrying capacity, or the same load at a lower pressure*

• VF-designated tires offer up to 40% more load-carrying capacity, or the same load at a lower pressure*

• Reduced soil compaction

• Wider section width for more contact area

THE AD2 ADVANTAGE: MORE LOAD, BIGGER FOOTPRINT, LESS COMPACTION.*

LIMITED WARRANTY FOR FIRESTONE DESTINATION FARM RADIAL IMPLEMENT AGRICULTURAL TIRES

DESTINATION FARM RADIAL IMPLEMENT TIRES

BRIDGESTONE AMERICAS TIRE OPERATIONS, LLCAGRICULTURAL TIRE DIVISION


TIRES COVEREDThis Limited Warranty covers original-tread Firestone brand radial agricultural tires purchased or manufactured after January 1, 2009, (except tires made for or used in pulling contests) if they are used in normal agricultural service. It does not cover tires marked "NO ADJ" or "NA" (non-adjustable), or tires not containing the Firestone serial number. Tires branded DT (damaged tire) are not adjustable for appearance. Tires are adjustable for ride-related conditions only during the first six months of service and up to 1/32nd of an inch of treadwear.

WHAT IS WARRANTEDIf, before wearing down to 2/32nds of an inch of tread or bar depth remaining, any tire covered by this Limited Warranty becomes unusable for any reason within the manufacturer’s control, such tire will be replaced with an equivalent new Firestone tire on the basis set forth in the section titled “Limited Warranty Period and Pro Rata Percentages” on the following page. Some examples of causes or conditions normally beyond the manufacturer’s control are:

1. Field or road hazards or stubble damage (e.g. cut, snag, puncture, stubble damage, impact break, tear or chunk in tread, bar or shoulder); 2. Apparent overload or improper inflation pressure or abuse; 3. Wheel misalignment, rim slip, tire/wheel assembly imbalance, mismatching of adjacent tires, or other vehicle conditions, defects or characteristics;

WARRANTY

4. Conditions caused by land-leveling or earthmoving operations; 5. Improper repair or improper insertion of sealant, balancing, or filler materials; 6. Intentional alteration of either the appearance or the physical characteristics of the tire; 7. Mounting damage or conditions caused by aging or improper storage; and 8. Failure to observe any of the "Owner-User’s Obligations" items listed elsewhere in this publication.

This Limited Warranty is in addition to, and/or may be limited by, any other applicable written warranty you may have received concerning special tires or situations.

LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD AND PRO RATA PERCENTAGESDuring the first two years of service (proof-of-purchase must be attached to claim form), if the tire is worn less than 25%, the tire will be replaced without charge including normal mounting and service charges.

After the free replacement period, the replacement price will be prorated based on years of service from the original purchase date (proof-of-purchase must be attached to claim form, or if proof-of-purchase is not available or if tire was not purchased new, then based on years from date of manufacture, which is molded into the sidewall of the tire) as set forth on the following page.

3rd Year 30% 30% 4th Year 40% 40% 5th Year 50% 50% 6th Year 60% 60% 7th Year 70% 70% 8th Year 80% 80% 9th Year 90% 90%

After the end of the 9th Year, coverage expires. 100%

To determine the replacement price, the appropriate pro rata percentage is multiplied by the Firestone owner-user’s regular buying price. Appropriate taxes, mounting, or other service charges will be added to the replacement price.

CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONSTo the extent permitted by law, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC disclaims all warranties express or implied other than the warranties stated in this Limited Warranty, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BRIDGESTONE AMERICAS TIRE OPERATIONS, LLC DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSS OF TIME OR PROFITS, LOSS OF VEHICLE USE, OR INCONVENIENCE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES.

Notes:

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

Only the actual owner-user of the covered tires may make an adjustment claim under this Limited Warranty and Commercial Adjustment Policy and only for tires used in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.

Nothing in this Limited Warranty is intended to be a representation that failures cannot occur.

OWNER-USER’S OBLIGATIONSProper tire care is necessary to obtain maximum hours of usage and wear.

The owner-user’s obligations are to operate tires within tire load and speed limits (at cold air pressures specified by Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC for load and speed according to individual tire size, type, and load capacity) and to maintain proper alignment of wheels.

In case of an adjustment claim, the owner-user must present the tire to an authorized Firestone dealer or store, complete and sign the customer section of the adjustment claim form, attach to the claim form a copy of the proof-of-purchase showing the date the tire was purchased new or proof-of-purchase of the new agricultural equipment that the tire came on, and pay the appropriate replacement price, taxes and service charges for a new, current equivalent Firestone brand tire.


The obligation of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC under this Limited Warranty and Commercial Adjustment Policy may not be enlarged or altered by anyone.

P E R F O R M A N C E R E M I N D E ROverloading and incorrect air pressure are two of the greatest causes of premature tire removal. For the best performance possible, select the proper design, size and ply-rated tires for your equipment and operate the tires at the inflation pressure required to carry the working load. Detailed load and inflation tables are included in the Firestone Farm Tire Data Book and at FirestoneAg.com.

P R O P E R T I R E S I Z E STire sizes and ratings are dictated by vehicle geometry, weight and power. Before changing tire sizes, be sure to check with the equipment manufacturer or dealer. Tire measurements and load-carrying capacities for all Firestone agricultural tires are shown in the Firestone Farm Tire Data Book and at FirestoneAg.com. These measurements are especially important when matching front and rear sizes.
